    Can add to this today that I have one autistic friend now. They're a bit more neurotic than me however we can still bond over our shared dislike of noise haha;

    Someone reached out to me on a whim that I hadn't interacted with in over a year. Surprised they remembered me at all. Also found out we're the same age and could relate to each other's rocky school experiences. Fun.

    I've had some incredible social interactions this year. Music is going great. My perspective on life is settling into something holistically viable and fluid. It's been a strange time to just "live" and nothing but "live".

    We're a couple months into the year of no new years resolution now. It's emptier in one sense, because I've not been tackling the self improvement business. But it's also felt very full? I'm unoccupied and can throw my whole being into anything that comes my way.

    Autistic Question

    While not a magnetism to specifically autists, I have noticed that since I have met many people online anonymously that the ones I get close enough to find personal details about from have always been social minorities. Autism pops up there on occasion, but also second generation immigrants...

    Comment by 'Knower of nothing' in 'Extinction's the Smell, of us Doing Well'

    Beautiful. Poem's like these always show that someone has felt the shame of the scorpion which is the first step to the scorpion's fire. That being self-sacrifice in the name of love.

    The last thing that made you laugh

    Such a dumb joke but I still laugh when I run into it.

    Good people that come from bad families like yourself are like the grass that can even grow through concrete.

    Are you treated differently

    Definitely. I think I carry myself sort of fundamentally incorrect however, so it's inevitable. Find myself caring when others don't, not caring when they do. It's not on purpose, but I do suspect it has come about due to the difficulty experienced when being too aligned with others. I...

    I've learned this about myself as well. I thought I didn't like being social perhaps, but it is specifically being prompted into communication that irks me. Especially when tired. Sometimes I'll be prompted to give my feelings on something when I haven't even gotten to that part to myself yet...

    Intrusive thoughts in the form of a phrase.

    I'll sometimes have singular phrases or logic loops that I can't help but repeat in my head and they sort of interrupt the thought flow as I'm trying to think while also repeating it. I will say they don't often get prompted by any direct events but are like circular thinking that occurs when...

    I am dipping my toes into classical music now.

    This count? The rite remains an unmatched expression to me in all of its interpretations. You can feel it even in a less colorful rendition like this.

    STORY: Study finds music has become more repetitive over four decades.

    There is serious power in repetition. It is used in rituals and mantras. There are some masterpieces out there relying on single chords or repeat phrases for many minutes. It, combined with the science of catchy, is undoubtedly the shortest path to widespread appeal. This is probability at play...

    Grasping for straws!

    Thanks for the concern but don't worry. I don't believe at all that if the motivation is growth that approaching this from such a robotic standpoint will work at all. This isn't the stage to even be discussing the righteousness of it. There's no room for that. It won't do anything but add...

    Grasping for straws!

    They're a person, not a tenant. There's nothing reasonable to calculate. You do what you can if you want based on how much you prioritize. No, the problem exists first, built up way before the symptoms become a behavior, the "blackmail" is a survival strategy response to it. Not everyone would...
